you
are
beautiful.
every girl and boy,
you
are
beautiful.
don't let the world tell you otherwise,
you
are
beautiful.
made in His image,
you
are
beautiful.
fearfully and wonderfully made,
you
are
beautiful.
always and forever,
you
are
beautiful.

so there's a challenge going around on social media called the #20beautifulwomenchallenge. i wanted to let every single one of you know that you are beautiful.

to every son and daughter (you are loved)

to every son and daughter
who has ever lost a father,
to every girl and boy
who has lost all joy,
to all the young and old
who have been sold
into believing that-
"nobody loves you"
and "nobody cares,"
"you'll never be good enough"
so you feel life's unfair.
all those people have been
deceivin'
because all those things you've been
believin'
are false.
they are lies,
so dry
your eyes
spread your wings and fly,
because you are loved,
and you always will be.

whether you feel it or not, know that you are loved.

ode to the mango (oda al mango)

on tall trees (en arboles altos)
they begin as small white flowers (empiezan como flores pequeñas y blancas)
with five petals (con cinco petalos)
and a sweet smell (y un olor dulce)

ready in summer (estan listos en el verano)
smooth skin (piel suave)
colorful skin (piel lleno de color)
red, orange, yellow, green (rojo, anaranjado, amarillo, verde)
single pit in the middle (una semilla en el medio)
sweet flavor (sabor dulce)
soft or firm (blando o firme)

the knife breaks the thin surface (el cuchillo rompe la superficie delgada)
and reveals a golden sun (y revela un sol dorado)
a sun (un sol)
bright (brillante)
shining (radiante)
and glorious (y glorioso)

i like mangos (me gusta mangos)
mango juice (jugo de mango)
mango smoothies (batidos de mangos)
mango ice cream (helado de mango)

i have a candle (tengo un cirio)
that smells like (que huele como)
mangos (mangos)
it’s one of my favorite smells (es uno de mis olores favoritos)
in the entire world (en todo el mundo)

when i think of (cuando yo pienso en)
mangos (mangos)
i think of (yo pienso en)
summer (el verano)
my happy place (mi lugar feliz)
my paradise (mi paraiso)

i had to write a poem about a fruit or vegetable for my spanish class. thought i would provide the english translation with the spanish :)

he fell for her

and he fell for her-

a shorter girl with shorter hair,
with an angelic voice that can't be compared,
a girl that's skinnier and older too,
with eyes like an ocean blue.
maybe she has a better style,
but he's only known her a little while,
and maybe he sees in each day,
how she's beautiful in every way.
now my broken heart must try to mend,
because i'll only ever be the best friend.

broken

your devious dagger
was thrown through
my heavy heart
which dropped dead
into scattered scraps
and pitiful pieces
in a broken, ******,
mess.

your love

if your love is truly patient and kind,
then Lord, change my heart and mind.
if your love isn't full of jealousy and pride,
then Lord, i wanna set myself aside.
if your love cares more about others,
then Lord, help me to love my brothers.
if your love doesn't get annoyed,
then Lord, i wanna always spread joy.
if your love is genuinely forgiving,
then Lord, in the present i'll be living.
if your love rejoices in what is true,
then Lord, i wanna love like you do.
if your love never gives up,
then Lord, in faith i will jump.
if your love is always persistent,
then Lord, i wanna reach those who are distant.
if your love has the power to change lives,
then Lord, i give you mine.

Based off of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

negative temperatures

negative temperatures
may keep me away from school,
but negative temperatures
can't keep me from you.
